Abstract

Tellurium-doped GaInArSb epitaxial layers with electron concentration in the range of 3 × 1017 – 2 × 1020 cm -3 are grown at 530°C on (100) GaSb substares by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE). To dope the layers we used pellets of Sb 3 Te 2 in preparing growth melts. The low temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra (20 K) showed a dominant peak composed of three transitions associated to excitons bound to residual acceptor impurities. For highly Te-doped layers the excitonic transitions related to exciton bound to neutral acceptor, BE 2, disappears.
